description | The objective of this survey was to evaluate the knowledge, awareness, and practice of digital dentures among dentists. This is a cross-sectional survey conducted from January to February, 2022. Fifteen close-ended questions were framed and circulated among 150 dental practitioners and interns using an online survey form. The responses were collected and statistically analyzed. The results summarize that 95.3% were aware of digital dentures and 4.7% were not. About 60.1% do not use digital workflow, 27% do not have essential equipment, 9.5% were not confident in practicing digital dentures, and 3.4% found that it was inaccurate, showed poor retention, and a well-skilled technician was required. Most dental practitioners are aware of digital dentures. Among all practitioners with postgraduation were more aware of digital dentures than the interns and undergraduate practitioners. Most dentists do not practice digital dentures due to the high initial setup cost and maintenance. The majority of practitioners agree that digital dentures will be the ultimate tool in future dentistry. |
